💨 Abstract

The article discusses the issue of unregulated betting, particularly during the Indian Premier League (IPL), which generates over 100 billion dollars annually in illegal betting and gambling. The author argues that legalizing and regulating sports betting would ensure transparency, consumer protection, and economic benefits while curbing illegal betting markets. The Supreme Court has recognized fantasy leagues as a 'game of skill', suggesting that sports betting could be treated similarly.
